These photographs show the technique used by the United States Air Force to net a capsule from a satellite high in the sky near Hawaii on August 19. The capsule had been ejected earthwards from the satellite Discoverer XIV, which is orbitting the earth. In the top picture the lines sweep out in a second unsuccessful attempt to snag the speeding capsule. At left the brake parachute above the capsule is pulled out of shape as the recovery loop swings round it. At right the recovery line, a nylon one, tightens as the winch operator on board the C-119 aircraft slowly reels in his catch. In 27 hours, the capsule had travelled nearly half a million miles through space-AP Photo
